Push it (not to the limit)

Pushing film means pretending the film is a whole lot faster than it really is, and compensating in the darkroom. It creates excess grain, added contrast, and generally is for emergencies only. I've done it with 35mm with decent results, but the film was too grainy. Here is some shots with medium format pushed, to the same levels. I'm actually impressed. I won't hesitate to do it again.

Also maybe you'll notice that i have big pictures of small things. Hooray for extension tubes!!!

I've got two rolls left of black and white to develop, and about enough chemicals to do it before switching bottles. Due to the time I'll be leaving, I'll be saving the rest of the developer until I get back. In the meantime, if I FIND time to shoot, i'll be shooting some color! Woo hoo!
